This is a short walkthrough in images of the OSOM conference as I saw it today happening in Bucharest.

It pretty much went
as expected

But I still not understand why the Adobe offices were a right place for a FOSS conference,

Maybe it was their wonderful proprietary reader running on a proprietary OS used to display many of the sides, or maybe it was the free sodas.

Anyway, a solid presence from Mozilla and
ROSEdu, but also tracks from Drupal and openSUSE

And, of course
Chris from Fedora, kind of a rockstar, who made the conference turn from Romanian to English language (no problem, our communities are quite fluent with English)

During the presentation he made an important point the invitation to tomorrow's
Fedora release event which also happens in Bucharest.

Beside the presentations, the most important part was the opportunity to meet again old friends from various local communities.

Stay tuned, a similar report will come in the next couple of days from the Fedora event.
Adobe is no longer the company it was a few years ago.
